He listened carefully and took note, asked Fu Zhiwen a few detailed questions, then went back to the kitchen feeling uneasy, fearing that he would not be able to produce the flavor that Second Master Miao desired.
Little did he know, Miao Ruochen had never tasted anything like salt and pepper shrimp. As the anxious cook brought the dish to the table and quickly picked up a good-looking shrimp to taste it, his entire face lit up with delight, "The flavor is indeed excellent, you shall be rewarded!"
The cook nearly burst into tears, "Thank you, Lord Miao, thank you, Lord Miao!"
Having never made salt and pepper shrimp before, he had only hoped to satisfy Second Master Miao; the idea of receiving a reward had never crossed his mind.
